Your answer may include the following points:The text mentions the joy of flying and of freedom. It describes Daedalus and Icarus leaving Earth and becoming airborne. There is a positive mood in the beginning as Icarus experiences the joy and liberty of flying. The father and son are viewed as gods by those who see them.In the second half of the excerpt, the mood suddenly changes. Icarus is careless and gets too close to the sun, and the wax in his wings melts. The mood falls along with Icarus.The painting concentrates only on Icarus drowning. However, Icarus's fall is portrayed as an event of no significance. His drowning goes unnoticed by the other people in the painting, who continue working. The bright colors of the painting also create a positive, radiant mood, which contrasts with the image of Icarus’ body in the water.The text shows the mood of the grief-stricken Daedalus, who hangs up his wings and names a nearby island Icaria, in memory of his son. In contrast, the painting tells us nothing about Daedalus.-plato

The painting presents an apathetic mood, while the myth shows a change of mood presenting, first, an animated mood, passing to a carelessness mood and ending with a melancholic mood.

We can reach this conclusion as follows:

In painting, the artist shows the death of Icarus to be irrelevant to the world.
In this painting, no one notices Icarus's drowning, as the whole world is busy with its own activities.
This creates a apathetic and worry-free mood.
The myth further explores the life of Icarus with his father.
In the myth, both are imprisoned, so the prospect of freedom creates a hopeful and lively mood, which is created by the happiness of Icarus and his father in being able to fly away.
During the escape, the author shows a careless mood, as Icarus begins to ignore his father's advice and become disinterested in his safety.
During the fall and drowning of Icarus, the mood becomes melancholy and sad, as it represents a disastrous death and a tragic end.
